The Low End Mac mailing list server was just blacklisted recently... because one of the signed up list members spammed one of the lists (sent a TOTALLY off topic posting advertising some kind of book about Greek or something... don't really know, I deleted the message as soon as I realized it was junk). One of the other list subscribers promptly submitted the email to one of the spam houses... getting the mail list domain (improperly if you ask me) blacklisted. I think this is just one more reason I do NOT support spam policing groups. They encourage people to blindly send messages to list a domain... and many of them don't seem to do the foot work to see if the domain really SHOULD be listed (a simple look at the headers would have reveiled the email as coming from a mail list, and a quick look at the mail list policies would have shown that it is a double opt-in list... thus although the individual email was spam... the domain should NOT have been blacklisted). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
